LIQUID DISPENSINQ BECEPTACLE Filed Des.' 1. 192e ATTORY Patented Jan. 27, 1931 1UNiTvlszDzfs'erares f Janes can. VCHAMBER-s, or SEATTLE; WasnINGrroN c ALIQU:D-nrsrnnsnve anonrTAcLn pplication ledflecemher This invention relates to apparatus for dis-` 15 room and provided with an outlet through vwhich the contents are discharged, by gravitation, and a novel form of air-and-liquid Vvalve for regulating the delivery ofliquid from the container. j

` 20 The invention further consi-sts in the man- 'f ner of mounting theregulating valve and to special means adapting the same tobe readily controlled towithdraw desired liquid from the receptacle.

.The inventionv further consists in the novel construction, adaptation and combination of parts hereinafterdescrihed and claimed.

saidpdrawing thereference vnumeral 5 4kf'represents` a .liquid container, hereinafter called the bottle, preferably of glass, here- 5 45 :inshown witha cylindrical body portion; hav- Vjing v2tfperipheral ridge 6I which serves as a 1 1; x :Shoulder to bearnpona bracket wall-attachment 7ffor supporting the bottle;

j At lower endithe bottle is provided withY Y p50' atubularaneckS .towhich` is secured avented quantities' of A Y. arm 18 thereof being provided with a hole 19 by dotted lines the valve handle and al recepscribed.

At its upper end the bottle isprovided ad- Y vantageouslywitha tubular neck 10 through which the bottle may be supplied or replenishedwith liquid; and for the opening therein isf provided a removableclosure or stopper l1. The delivery valve 9 above re-v ferred to is ofthe general'type conventionally known as a plug valve extendinghorizontally through a bore l2 provided in a casing 1 3- which is secured to the outlet neckV 8 of the bottle as bycementing the-latter in a socket lei. provided therefor :in the casing;YV

` Said bore; l2 isptapered Vfrom oneside :of

the casingfto itsgother side; and the valve 9 liquid-delivery valve 9,*tto 'presently de- ,i i i is correspondingly tapered within the bore to make anon-lealiable fit therein. The smaller (Fig. 4) extending, beyonda ledgevl.l provided on the valve.: "1( represents a handle of an elbow shape for operatingthe valve, one

-of a shape to iitupon'the polygonal portion 15 of. the valve `so thatthe latter will be turnableas a single piece by means ofthe handle. 20 `represents a headed screw engaging in a threaded hole in the valveforsecuring the handle to the valve inopposition end of the valvefprotrudes from the casing I andterminates in va polygonal "extremity 15 7 toan extensible coil spring 2l providedin a v recess 22 of thehandlearm 18V as shownin 'F ig. el. Y Said spring acting betweenjthejcasing and the lhandle serves to maintainithe the valve seat.

The spring 2l is,-furthermore, formed. to provide lat eachend thereof finger 23 engaging apertures respectively in the casingfand armV valve in close relation with the peripheral surface of the taperl bore l2 which furnishes Y 18 of the handle *for the valve, lwhereby the such as t0 close the valveports 24 and 25 and 27 respectivelyfo-f the valve casing.

The ports 24 .and 25foffthe valve, as shown yin Figs. 8 and 4, extend diametrically through the Y valve and are adapted vto vbe :brought vwith respectlto theliquid and air ducts 25,

through t-he medium. of the/handle linto Yregister withthe casing ducts 26 and-277.

latter is Vnormally Vheld inrotary position The duct 26 is employed for drawing liquid from the bottle; and the other duct 27, is employed for bottle venting, that is, toadmit air into the bottle to replace liquid therefrom kor, more correctly, toy admit air into the bottle to act against the upper surface of its liquidcontents to yelect deliveryof the liquid When-bothports-ofthe valve are .in their relatively open positions.

For this purpose the vent duct 27 is` provided vvith an extensiontube 28 reaching the upperend above the liquidlevel, said tube being desirably bent as at 29 (Fig. 2) to have its-upper, or outlet, endfdirected downwardlyA to obviate the pouring of liquid into the vent tube :when the .bottle is b eing replenished ',With liquid through the top.

As shown thei handle" 17 isformedi-of an .elbow vshape A.with Lan arm' 181 extending at :about right,sangles tothe arm 18 to permit the handle to .be `enga ged .byi areceptacle such, for j lexample, .as tumbler-findicated bydottedk lines 1.30 in Bffmoiedin a .plane trans ,versely ,of thebottle. axis to receive. a charge Y of: liquidi from` the bottle.'

The spring 21 is adapted to normally re-e;
